“After playing and touring as an electronic Pop-Duo Milch with Armin von Milch since the late 90’s, I began in 2002 composing music for theater and dance scores in Germany, Poland and Austria. Close collaborations with visual artists followed.In my compositions for theater I often use field recordings, generate sounds through found material and mix them with voices and analog instruments.”Another project was Arises, a nomadic, ever-expanding, transcendental one piece musical-outfit between 2008 and 2013. The music of Arises can be described as a finely tuned exaggeration of pop structures, illustrated by brittle synthesizer landscapes and punctuated by sometimes concussive guitar as well as live snare stabs.

Frenzy was written for the art film Rausch / Frenzy (HD Video, 14 min, colour, sound), directed by Antje Majewski and shown at the Kunsthaus Dresden in 2008.

Additional guitar by Trevor Lee Larson.

„In Rausch (Frenzy), artists and their friends gather at Basso, Yusuf Etiman’s club in Berlin Kreuzberg’s district, to dance as wildly as possible. This develops into a shared form of expression for a few hours before everyone returns to his or her own specialized work, which is often carried out in isolation. What is not clear is whether the frenzy is brought on by consuming intoxicants or dancing to the music, a post-rave piece specially composed by Arises. In every culture, there are opportunities for people to come together and dance frenetically, often to the point of ecstasy. Usually, additional intoxicants are consumed, from beer to peyote. In our culture, the music, the place, and the dancers’ clothing are, in themselves, a cultural occasion for ecstasy. The film is shown in a wooden construction resembling a megaphone, painted in the primary colors RGB and CMYK.“
